Testimonials

“Concerts like this are truly unique and possibly the first of their kind. They offer a wonderful gateway for the next generation to connect with and embrace Carnatic music.”

“My daughter is learning the Veena, and since we don’t come from a musical background, it’s often hard to answer her questions. This show felt like it was created exactly for families like ours. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.”

“I brought my children to the show, and as long-time followers of the Cup O’ Carnatic series, we found this live performance to be a wonderful culmination of everything we’ve loved over the years. It was an incredible experience, and we look forward to many more shows in the future.”

“This is Carnatic music reimagined like never before. Jayanthi Akka’s creativity and innovation are truly remarkable, and after watching this show, I’ve become an even bigger admirer of her work.”

“We were all captivated by the sheer creativity on display. Jayanthi ji’s innovative approach to bringing Carnatic music to the next generation was truly astonishing. The entire performance left us spellbound and engaged, keeping us at the edge of our seats for the full one and a half hours.”

“I’ve been a fan of Jayanthi ji since her radio show years ago, which first inspired me to learn the Veena—though I eventually drifted away from it. Watching this show reignited that passion in me; it’s motivated me to repair my Veena and start practicing again. Seeing my child filled with joy and excitement during the performance made it even more special—an experience I’ll cherish forever.”
